Sulwhasoo Renodigm EX Dual Care Cream TPF 40, SPF 30, PA++

50mL, $116 USD

Originally I thought this is a moisturizing + UV protection cream, that's why it has the word "dual" in it... 

When a person's skin is exposed to the sun for 30 mins, skin temperature rises
This is the last step in Sulwhasoo (during daytime).

but it's not... it functions as a heat blocking and UV protection cream

TPF 40 stands for Thermal Protection Factor and blocks 40% of the heat exposed to your skin. It prevents the aging of your skin by reducing damages caused by the heat

This is the first time I came across a product with this property

The main ingredients that contribute to TPF has the following functions:

- calms down rough and dry skin

- prevents skin problems and aging of the skin by reducing stimulation caused by heat

- minimizing skin oxidation and prevents your skin from becoming dark

It has a creamy texture, beige in colorBesides having heat blocking and UV protection, it also provides moisturizing and anti-aging effects.

I quite like the packaging, you press once and the product comes out from the middle around the circle

one pump is good enough for the face

Laneige used to have a Snow Dual Foundation with the same pump.

Since this product protects your skin from heat, if you live in a hot country, you can use this at night time too
Studies have show that when skin is repeatedly exposed to heat, elasticity decreases and aging increases
Once it reaches 37 degrees, the number of blood vessels increases, which increases the overall skin area.
As a result, collagen and other elasticity structures are destroyed

I use it as a sunscreen

However, if you are going to use this product, I suggest using something light underneath...

for example, use a lotion/ emulsion and not a cream

otherwise it feels heavy
